The best restaurants in Chowdene Gateshead North East

We visited here after hearing good things as an after work meal with colleagues. We were seated quickly and staff were very friendly and professional. We were given menus and our drinks orders were taken and served quickly. We had quite a lot of food as we couldn’t decide what to have, there’s so much choice on the menu. There was 4 of us so opted for the sharing platter and duck pancakes. Wow amazing food, there was nothing that wasn’t delicious and everything was cooked to perfection and full of flavour. We chose our main meals with some rice and everyone had a bit of everything. Not a word of complaint, the staff weren’t overbearing and just checked we were ok and left us to it. The beef was very nice as was the noodles and satay chicken. Will be back soon and recommended to all!

We took grandkids on Friday 3rd Jan 2025, lunchtime, fabulous food nice clean restaurant, plenty of space busy but very quiet so we could have conversations, 4 meals 3 of which were steak, peppered sauce got a thumbs up from everyone less than £70.00, we will certainly be visiting again.

Service from Laura, Abisola and Emma (Thank you very much😀!) made an absolutely positive difference to our unplanned visit as we walked in for food on a busy Sunday afternoon! Food was served promptly to our table...and it was soooo tasty! Half roast chicken with roast potatoes, creamy mash, Yorkshire pudding and other vegetables. Really good value for money. Note: It was very busy and indoor seating might be limited if not reserved or booked in advance.

Best fish and chips always fresh might have to wait for them

Popped in here for a drink with friends the night before a wedding. I ordered a Guinness, which the young barman nearly threw over us as he put it down with such gusto. The pint was pouring all down the sides of the glass and it hadn't been left to settle like a Guinness should, there was no head on it at all. I said, in a polite manner, that that is not how a Guinness should be served and would it be possible to have another, these things happen with inexperienced staff so I didn't think it would be a problem. He disappeared and an older lady, who I assume was the manager or landlady, approached me from behind and began shouting at me that there was nothing wrong with the Guinness and they weren't going to pour another one as it would be wasted. She was quite unnecessarily aggressive when I was within my rights to request a new Guinness based on how it was served. They wiped the glass and topped it up so it had a head on it, but the whole encounter was bizarre and unnecessary. It's a shame that this happened as the bar has a nice vibe and it made myself and my friends feel very uncomfortable.

Very average fish & chips for the northeast. They also make you pay extra for tartar sauce, ketchup, gravy, etc. That’s cheeky.

Unbelievable one man was fixing a heater as we said it was so cold and wanted us to be nice and warm whilst we were in the shop that man deserves a promotion
